Ultimate mascara - worth every cent!

I never thought that I would one day replace my dear Rimmel mascara that I have repurchased over and over again for the past 6 years but Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara deserves that top spot now. It curls and separates my lashes, gives them volume and (what appears to me) extended length. What I love the most is the product makes my lashes look full and dramatic with very little effort required.

Even though I’m not a fan of pink the packaging is cute and simple. At first I was a little sceptical at the sheer size of the hour-glass shaped wand as well as just how much product was on it when I pulled it out. I didn’t think I would be able to achieve much, other than a big mess all over my lids but I cannot express just how amazed I am with this product.

When I apply my layers I do get some spots of mascara on my lids but that’s mainly because of how much it extends my lashes that it hits my lids so I can’t really complain about that. I’ve had no negative reactions to the product and no issues with flaking or any smudging throughout the day. In terms of removal it comes off very easily when I use my holy grail eye makeup remover (Neutrogena). I’m not too sure I could say the same if I use a makeup wipe or any other eye makeup remover.

I’ve had so many compliments on my lashes I can’t believe it and I didn’t even need to invest in a lengthening serum! I bought mine from the Too Faced website and sent it to my Shipito address. The price largely depends on the currency exchange going at the time of purchase and mine was approximately NZD$30 which to me is worth every cent because this is the only mascara that has finally ticked all the boxes.

My annoyance would have to lie with the accessibility to the product and that it’s only available overseas so unlike other popular mascara brands you can't just walk into a store and purchase it when you feel/want/need it.

Tips: I apply 2-3 layers and twirl the wand from base to tip. For more volume (and less clumps) I use a different mascara on top of it that has thin straight or slightly curve wand (i.e. Benefit Roller Lash).

Eeee this is getting me excited to use mine! The brush was scaring me a little so this is reassuring! I'm patiently waiting to use the mascaras that are in my current rotation first. Tick tock..

The Holy Grail of Mascara

Where to start. It lengthens. It volumises. It doesn't flake. I've never had a clump.

This is THE mascara for big, dramatic lashes. You don't need to wear false lashes with this mascara in your toolbox. I find three coats ideal if you're really wanting drama, or just one coat for a little definition. This isn't waterproof, but it isn't easy to get off either. It is a slightly wet formula, but not to the extreme of some Maybelline formulations.

Not sure that I'd believe the 1944% more volume claim on the box, but you certainly get a stunning look.

The brush is cute - its hourglass shaped and makes it really easy to get a nice application. The brush is also weighted, which makes handling the mascara feel really quite something else because it gives you more control.

Tips: Three coats and skip the false lashes!

Amazing products !

This mascara can almost live up to its name hehe, I love the packaging, the champagne soft pink is really pretty, the brush is ideal for me, I love a full volume brush ! The consistency of the formula is amazing as it makes my lashes full and super black and I only need two small coats to get this effect!. I look like I have more eyelashes and that always makes my eyes pop ! It stays put and doesn't flake away. I generally love this product it has found its way into my daily makeup routine! I have no regrets purchasing this, toofaced keeps blowing me away with there amazing quality !

Better than sex??

I jumped on the bandwagon once again! Everyone was talking about how amazing this mascara is so, what's a girl to do? Buy that mascara and try it for herself of course!!

I need a slap on the hand I hate to admit this, I have 5 opened mascaras on the go but a couple are destined for the bin after using this.

I love the pink cylinder packaging it comes in, it's like metal/aluminium and quite heavy. I unscrew the lid and out comes the wand and argh I'm feeling slightly daunted by the hourglass wand its unlike anything I've used before and I'm standing there looking at it, then looking at my eyelashes and thinking really??

So I carefully apply the first coat and ooooh my lashes look a little fuller and longer, second coat and wow impressive a good curl going on and third coat and Im thinking hey those aren't mine no way! Seriously? They are full with great length and just look amazing. I love this mascara so much because first of all no clumps and secondly it makes your eyelashes look completely natural like you were just genetically blessed with luscious lashes!

Also wearing 3 coats I thought I was bound to get flaking but yip you guessed it.. None, no flaking no rub off nothing! Yes it seriously is some kind of magic.

Then it got me thinking it stays on for hours and hours I bet it's going to take some scrubbing to remove it. But nope just my usual Clarins or Maybelline makeup remover and done (back to naked eye for me!) I love love love this and need back ups! Thank goodness for overseas shopping we have nowadays!

Better Than Everything!

I purchased this mascara about a month ago and have struggled to give myself rest days and not wear it EVERY. SINGLE. DAY since I opened it. First off is the packaging, I love it. Its quite a long metal tube with the writing embossed on and it's a beautiful colour and has a lovely feel to it. The mascara wand is weighted so I think this may contribute to why I've been finding it easier to apply. The brush itself is nothing terribly different to others I've seen before but the results I get from it are. Unlike most other mascaras where I need a couple of weeks to wait for them to dry out a bit and for me to get used to them this one was a winner from day one. The formula is not too sticky or wet and goes on perfectly without clumping my lashes or leaving big clumpy bits sitting on them. I get near enough to perfectly coated individual long lovely lashes from two coats of this mascara. I do find because the brush is quite big I do tend to get a bit of product up on my upper eyelids but I do also have quite long eyelashes so thats hard to avoid usually anyway. Some days I am left with a little bit of flaking or transference to the under eye area but it doesn't happen often and is usually when I've put it on first thing and haven't taken it off until around midnight. I have already posted a picture of my lashes using this mascara on the photo wall. Stalk me through my profile and maybe you'll be able to find it :D This is a fantastic mascara probably in in top two ever and I think I may miss it when I'm getting through the other three I have waiting to be used after this one's finished.

New Holy Grail!

I adore this mascara!! I am lucky enough to have long eyelashes but am constantly on the hunt for something to give me the volume I crave - I have found it! This is a mascara that does exactly what it says - it gives you thick voluminous lashes, its black as black can be and makes my lashes look so long that people ask if I'm wearing false lashes! I picked this up from Mecca in Australia and am gutted to not be able to find it for sale in New Zealand so will have to pay for shipping (booo!).

Tips: Give the wand a really good wiggle as you're applying otherwise it is prone to clumping!

Better than... Sex!?!?

This mascara had been talked about everywhere, and I knew I had to get my hands on it. A beauty product that had the word sex in it!? And it may or may not be better than the deed itself... I was intrigued. I ordered from BeautyLish Boutiques and it arrived quite fast, despite the holidays going on in both countries at the time.

The tube is a soft metallic pink with the brand name in fancy italics and the name of the mascara, bold and in your face, in raised writing on the side. The writing is the same color as the tube, so it blends seamlessly, other than the fact it's raised. It's the only writing on the tube other than the sticker on the base. The lid twists off easily and as you pull the wand out of its cave you are greeted with a gorgeous brush.

The brush itself is supposed to be like a woman's curves, and I can see that, but it also just looks like a mascara wand. It's fat at the top and bottom and thinner in the middle. Definitely matches my body shape! The bristles are quite soft and they are thick with black mascara.

The formula of the mascara is, in my opinion, perfect. It's not dry so it doesn't drag your eyelid off your eye, and it's not so completely wet that just blinking makes it smoosh above and below the lashes. Although if you sneeze it will do just that, but as it dries fast it's easy to either pick off, of just use a makeup remover on a cotton bud.

My lashes become superstars when I use this. It's a term I never use, but this is my holy grail. It is the holiest of all grails. It's so easy to remove I could do it in my sleep and know I got it all off. It IS a clumpy mascara, and I thought I hated clumpy until I tried this. How wrong I was. So, is it better than sex? Well... I guess that depends on the sex ;-)

Diva lashes!

This mascara was my first (and currently, only) 'high end' mascara purchase, although it's very well priced compared to other brands. I've been using this for a year now, and have been putting off reviewing it because I just have so much to say! The packaging is a gorgeous pearl pink with embossed lettering, and the tube itself is large, thick, and feels metallic - which means it always feels unusually cold! The big thing I noticed with this mascara, compared to drugstore products I'd used, is that the formula is very thick and very black. Like, I was a little bit scared of it at first. The hourglass wand doesn't really suggest an intuitive way of applying it, but I've found there are many different looks you can achieve with this just by altering your application. A light touch is a must; if you really comb this through then you'll just get crazy black clumps instead of lashes. You can get very long, fluffy lashes just by gently feathering it through the ends (I usually apply a few coats, letting it almost dry between applications). Or, if you're wanting something heavier, you can sweep this through from base to tip a couple of times and then go through with the end of the want and pull out the corner lashes a bit. This gives you a really intense doll-eyed look which I love. Don't freak out if it gets all over your eyelids over (which will happen, this wand is very smudgey!) - if you wait a minute for it to dry it'll wipe off no sweat with a dry cotton bud, and won't ruin any eyeshadow etc. you had on either! This absolutely lasts all day until you take it off, it can transfer a little to your eyelids while it's still drying so look out for that. It's not waterproof, so is easy to take off with a decent make up remover. I don't often use this product for day wear just because it's so dramatic that it doesn't always look natural, but it's miles ahead of any other mascara I've tried for killer bombshell lashes on a night out.

Tips: Practice makes perfect! This product took me a while to learn to use without looking like a panda, so allow some time to fix any mistakes if you're planning on debuting it for a social event :)

love this tiny bottle of wow

I purchased this in a gift pack as I had read reviews and was a bit skeptical. I also purchased the queen size lashes in a full size but I find the BTS waaaay better. the brush is has different size bristles and isn't clumpy. I like thick bold lashes and BTS definitely gives this to you! it didn't flake for me at all. it reminds be of MAC's haute & naughty but BETTER! I love the sleek pink packaging too!

Tips: use 2 coats for an extra dramatic flare!

Holy Grail

This mascara is my jam! It is my absolute favourite mascara so far. It makes my lashes look huge! The formula is great, its not too dry nor too wet and applies really well. The wand is a bit big so the product does transfer to your eye lid which is a bit of a pain. It doesn't come off easily so you do need a good eye make up remover for this.
